Changing loudness on individual audio clips

I thought I had seen a way to turn down individual audio clips, like if you have several hi hat hits as separate audio clips, you can make some louder and some softer quickly.
 
Am I right, is there a quick way to do this?
 
Thanks.

You can also edit the clip--audio, right?--in the loop construction view and perform a similar gain adjustment very precisely.  This also gives you the advantage of moving the clip around and not losing the gain adjustment you made to the entire track.

Thanks for these suggestions.  I will try both the loop construction view and the clip automation.
 
Appreciate it!

Thing I love most about this trick is if you need to make adjustments later, just re click in the area between the 2 nodes, and it will re-highlight letting you grab the bar to re adjust the amount of gain.
